We don't usually post on a Saturday. But today is a special Saturday... for we have an amazing and exclusive giveaway for you from fabulous children's design company, Corby Tindersticks.
Meet Barry Bags, Tarquin and Wilby. The "3 Amigos" - and their very latest creations, hot off the toy-making machine!
Manufactured from high quality, grey marl jersey, printed with eco-friendly ink in Wales, and hand-finished right here in the UK with smart and bright felt accessories, each of these eccentric little characters has its very own story to tell.
Carly Gledhill is the creative brains behind them. She says, "When designing the 3 Amigo toys, I was inspired by the peculiar goings on in the TV comedy 'The League of Gentlemen' - this, combined with my love of eighties over-sized glasses! After a few doodles, Wilby, Barry and Tarquin came to life, Barry in particular stands out due to his large round head and cheeky freckles. I drew him sporting an on-trend striped sun hat, topped with a neon bobble and a striped top complete with skinny jeans... Barry wouldn't look out of place with the hipsters of East London, though he may have trouble fitting his head through the narrow doorways of the drum n bass clubs."
And now for the really exciting bit - Corby Tindersticks are partnering with Bobby Rabbit from today until 15th May to offer one very lucky reader a Barry Bags Giftbag to include Barry Bags himself (worth £26), the Ace Boot Club felt print in grey (worth £20) - all wrapped up inside a Wilby organic cotton tote bag (worth £8). That's a fantastic £54 worth of prizes up for grabs!
Barry Bags is about 35cm tall and is made using UK-sourced fabric, printed with eco-friendly ink, and hand-assembled in the Corby Tindersticks studio. He is washable (cool showers only) - and he likes to lie down flat to dry.
The Ace Boot Club felt wall art is made using top quality wool felt all the way from America, and just like the toys, is printed in Wales using special eco-friendly ink before being hand-embellished in the Corby Tindersticks studio with bright felt appliqué details. It is approximately A3 size, and features 5 lovely little characters flashing their amazingly cool and super stylish boots!
If you're the lucky winner, both Barry Bags and the Ace Boot Club felt print will be delivered to you in this fab organic shopping bag, starring Barry's other Amigo, Wilby. And in keeping with the rest of the collection from Corby Tindersticks, the bag is carefully screen-printed in Wales using high quality, eco-friendly inks.
Fun, quirky and strikingly stylish, Barry Bags and the Ace Boot Club felt print are just the job for brightening up your day (and your child's bedroom). And as for the Wilby bag - well sometimes you just have to treat yourself...
